cannot load shared library that exists in /usr/local/lib (Fedora x64)
64-bit, c++, fedora, linker, shared-libraries
Solution
Thank you to @Joachim_Pileborg:
ldconfig uses the file /etc/ld.so.conf. You can add /usr/local/lib to that file, re-run ldconfig and try again
Doing so fixed the problem, although I find it odd that /usr/local/lib wouldn't have been checked in the natural course of things.
Problem
When attempting to run a program I just compiled successfully, I get the following error: ./src/sensors/laser_scan_producer: error while loading shared libraries: liblcm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory `ls /usr/local/lib/liblcm*` yields ``` /usr/local/lib/liblcm.la /usr/local/lib/liblcm.so /usr/local/lib/liblcm.so.1 /usr/local/lib/liblcm.so.1.2.0 ``` I have executed `sudo ldconfig` several times and added /usr/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the sake of redundancy. This exhausts the list of answers I've seen whilst grepping around stackOverflow. Anyone spot the problem?
